I know it seems alot, but I'm staying with a theme camp, and also plan to gift quite a bit to bars I visit to share the load. I'll probably edit this list several times.
I'm also vegetarian, so your list may look different from mine.

A shit ton of spaghetti & sauce (have it atleast every other day, if not everyday)--very filling, easy to make & gives you a rush of much needed calories. Ramen is a good snack/lunch, and a medley of chips, crackers, & granola bars

YES! EZ-Cheese is one of nature's perfect foods! And it's super burner-friendly; it comes in a dust-proof container that needs no refrigeration.
I ALWAYS bring canned ravioli and tuna cups and booze of all sorts.

For fresh fruit that won't spoil on the playa, I can't say enough about Crunch Berries. Burning Man with no Capn' Crunch is no Burning Man at all.

trader bozo's has a bunch of precooked stuff near the canned beans in light packaging, reasonably priced.. rice type stuff.. i pretty much survived on it last year. oh, and near that, they have cartons of butternut squash soup.. gimme some of that.

edit: also, some very cheep beer, too.. simpler times, red oval, a few 6-pint-packs.. decent stuff for great prices.

chances are im going to be running around for atleast another 6 hours after dinner, which is why i eat a big breakfast in the morning... because it's been 14 hours since ive eaten. but I'm just not hungry durring the day, and when food is offered, i just pick at it mostly.

That's pretty much my grocery list for this year. I'll be eating most meals at the commissary and have been promised a few "home-cooked" meals by a couple camps, so whatever I bring is mostly for snacking.

I go to costco and buy about $200 bucks of whatever I think will work by going isle by isle. I bring all of it. I eat about 1/4 of it and 1/4 of it goes bad through neglect(bread getting wet in cooler) or spoilage. The other 1/2 of it comes back here and I live off of it in increments through out the year. It is really nice to pull a dusty can of soup out of the pantry. My pasta supply is freaking phenomenal after 6 years of burning.

I'm going to bring more expensive beef jerky and put bread in water proof zip lock bags because apparently the bags that bread comes in are breathable and not waterproof.

When you pass the 4th "bridge out!" sign; the flaming death is all yours.-Knowmad-

by dinner time (after the sun goes down) im starving and ready to eat for 4.

I agree, if I wake up for breakfast (before its too hot to sleep), then I have a huge breakfast. I found that during the high heat of the day, noonish to 4ish eating was not desirable.

I found that one of the easiest ways to make good meals was to precook whatever, and put it in one of those heat sealer bags. Then all you have to do is boil water, and drop the bags in. I've never seen one melt in the water. We had pot roast with carrots, onions, and potatoes. Sloppy Joe mixed with mac and cheese (protein and carbs). Its easy, quick, one pot, meals. The water used to boil the bags was then used to do the dishes.

Why don't ya stick your head in that hole and find out? ~pieholePlan for the worst, expect the best. Make the most out of it under any conditions. If you cannot do that you will never enjoy yourself. ~CrispyDave
